Complete combustion occurs in the presence of excess oxygen,producing carbon dioxide and water.
For Heptane $(C_{7}H_{16})$:
$C_{7}H_{16(l)} + 11 O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 7 CO_{2(g)} + 8 H_{2}O_{(l)}$
For Nonane $(C_{9}H_{20})$:
$C_{9}H_{20(l)} + 14 O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 9 CO_{2(g)} + 10 H_{2}O_{(l)}$
Incomplete combustion occurs in the presence of limited oxygen,producing carbon black $(C)$ and water.
For Heptane $(C_{7}H_{16})$:
$C_{7}H_{16(l)} + 4 O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 7 C_{(s)} + 8 H_{2}O_{(l)}$
For Nonane $(C_{9}H_{20})$:
$C_{9}H_{20(l)} + 5 O_{2(g)} \rightarrow 9 C_{(s)} + 10 H_{2}O_{(l)}$
